I am all vaccinated up with nowhere to go.
How has COVID affected the sex industry in Rio? With the absence of tourists is it a buyers market due to high supply and low demand or it hasn't had much effect?

Posts: 249Rio - #1 in accepting prostitution
I have the impression that Brazil in general and perhaps Rio de Janeiro in particular are more accepting of prostitution than any other place in the world.
I have read that pimping and brothels are technically prohibited, however so long as the providers are over 18 that is completely unenforced.
Even in countries which legalize prostitution, it is still carefully regulated and monitored, in regards to limiting it to certain areas, health check ups, mandatory condoms, etc.
Even in countries where prostitution is illegal but widely practiced, the police must be properly bribed, police raids occasionally occur, etc.
In Rio however it seems as if anything goes. So long as everyone involved is a consenting adult, then do anything you want to, whenever you want to, however you want to, anywhere you want to, for free or for pay, so long as you aren't butt naked in the middle of the street, go for it, have fun. And during Carnival maybe middle of the street is OK as well.
It seems to be a uniquely liberal attitude toward sexuality (although I'm sure a few other places are not far behind).
Does this sound about right, or am I misunderstanding something?

Posts: 5661My reticence in travelling is not to spook anyone. Hell, what would ISG be like today if mongers stayed at home. Perhaps too many reports like mine haha. We all must live according to our level of caution. I rarely take risks which is why I never got rich or married. Getting married is much riskier than mongering. In any event I will travel as soon as I am comfortable doing so and that probably applies to nuptials as well. 60+ year old guy speaking.

Posts: 156Spinners
While I'm at it- I've RTFF quite a bit (50+ pages) but still can't get a complete sense of the natural occurrence in Rio of my preferred physique- The Spinner.
My preference is for rail thin petite Asian girls and so I find mongering locations like the DR to be bleak deserts of unpalatable giant ass.
I was able to find spinners in Bogota / Medellin but it really took some work. Is Rio isometric to Colombia in that regard?
One commenter here said that there are plenty of spinners to be found in Rio, and that they are not as in demand and so perhaps demand LE $$.
Anyone care to chime in and confirm or deny?

Posts: 156On the Ground Reportage
This is just a request for mongers with boots on the ground to keep us all updated in high resolution on the current state of closure, or lack thereof, of institutions of procurement. I will be coming down in May for the first time and I'm sure the situation will be changed by then but it will be nice to know how the various Termas, Privates, Boates, etc respond to lockdown orders in general-however transient they may be. It seems like there is a healthy trade in escort sites as well so I'm telling myself that would be a decent failsafe if everything else gets shut down. Being healthy and in my mid 40's I'm less concerned with the virus but more interested in how this will affect my extracurriculars.
Sounds like Thailand has decided to reduce / eliminate the quarantine so it's a bit frustrating committing to Rio only to have restrictions descend upon my back-up trip plan while loosening on my primary. I suppose this whole year is a crapshoot.
-also if anyone can enlighten on the travel restrictions from Brazil to Colombia would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance my friends.

Posts: 3040To Travel or Not to Travel, That is the Question
And the data is the data, although everyone has their own risk tolerance level, so I won't criticize anyone who follows a more risk averse path than myself or someone who is more risk tolerant.
I know people who have had the virus. We probably all do. One 52-year-old friend, in good health, caught the virus and he said it was the worst 8 days he ever experienced with severe migraine headaches and overall body weakness. He said couldn't do anything for a week. Another 55-year-old friend who is also in good health caught it and he said he barely felt a thing. He knew he had it because his wife also had it, but she was in real bad shape for 10 days. Then I have a 45-year-old cousin, in good health, who got it and he said he felt weak and lethargic for about a week and then he got better fast. Lastly, I know a couple of younger American girls, in their early 30's and very healthy. They caught it but told me they felt nothing more than some slight flu symptoms for a few days.
So, with all the CDC data and the anecdotal information I mentioned above and realizing that although I am in very good health, I am over 60 (fuck), I decided to play it safe through out 2020. Meanwhile a good friend of mine, in his 50's and in good health went down to Sao Paulo in October. I could have easily gone with him. He told me he had a great time and was not affected adversely in any way. I chose not to go down with him to Brazil not because I was afraid of dying. Dying from this virus is rare unless you have a pre-condition or are over 70. But I didn't want to risk getting laid up with this BS in a hotel room in a foreign country for a week to 10 days feeling like shit. So, I waited at home while my friend did 2 chicas a day in SP. Good for him!
But now I have had the Moderna double shot and my decision is to wait no more. Wait for what? The end of the virus Worldwide or just in Brazil? That might take years. No, not me. I am willing to take some risks now and face whatever the consequences which, BTW, I think will be minor post-inoculation. I could be wrong. But that's the risk I am now willing to take which I wasn't willing to take pre inoculation due to my age.
The good news is most of us will have the opportunity to get vaccinated in the next few months, so waiting a little longer is not the worst thing in the world, but hey, my situation has changed so I am going, but my risk tolerance is such that if I were in my 40's or low 50's, I would not have waited out 2020. I would have travelled. But that is just me. Everyone is free to make their own decisions based on the data and their particular risk assessments.
One more thing concerning RJ & SP girls: I think a lot of them have already had the virus and had few if any symptoms. They are young & healthy! This is just speculation on my part, but herd immunity is real and it is occurring in the USA with the aid of the vaccine and in Brazil without. Just saying.
I still plan to play it relatively safe when I am in Brazil and not take too many risks, but when I am with a young, pretty Brazilian girl who looks healthy, acts healthy, says she feels good, then she probably is good, ha ha, for me. But yeah, life is a risk. Just leaving your house in the morning and driving down the freeway to the office has a certain amount of risk to it. And remember, pre-Wuhan, going down on your favorite Asian of Brazilian hookers and barebacking them had certain risks albeit different risks as well. I am tired of being on pause. I played it safe and conservative until I was finally vaccinated. Now, it is time for me to go out and have some fun again and yes to take some calculated risks. Be safe & keep on rockin'.
NB.

Sleep 6+ hours daily.
Exercise especially swimming.

I went out to eat with my cousin back in November. She had on 2 masks and a face shield. I could not even hear her talking. When we ordered food, she got hers to go. I was confused. Turned out she had not been out anywhere since the thing started and she was paranoid to be out in public. She did end up taking one bite, but took the rest of her food home.
I have been to like 8 countries since this thing started and have not come into contact with anything that is making me fear for my life. I can practice a reasonable amount of safety and keep living my normal life at the same time.
